I recall you already sent a fix to silence this warning before:

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20211015152056.2434853-1-arnd@xxxxxxxxxx/

I prefer that old one, as it's more future-proof to cast to size_t here
in place (chunk_size won't be bigger than size_t for sure). With your
new patch, if chunk_size is ever changed from u16 to u32, it's likely
that this place will be unnoticed, and a bug will be introduced.
